Community reinvestment

Partnering with our neighbors is meaningful to us. It’s all part of our Purpose to Boldly Grow the Good in business and life. That’s why BMO is constantly seeking opportunities to accelerate positive change in communities that have faced barriers. This work ranges from community-based financial education programs and financing for first-time home buyers to major urban redevelopment projects, which provide housing and jobs. It’s part of how we’re helping build a society with zero barriers to economic inclusion.
